knock you down

(216)

FILTH UNDER THE FINGERNAILS
LIES DISGUISE THE QUEEN
TRUTH CORRUPTS THE KING
BRINGS THE KINGDOM TO ITS KNEES
THESE PIPES ARE RUSTED
PAINT PEELING PORTRAIT
THE BLOOD
THE SNOT
THESE THOUGHTS THEY ALL DRAIN
GOT TO GIVE THEM EVERYTHING
SHAKE HANDS AND SMILE
SHAKE HANDS AND SMILE
THESE PIPES ARE RUSTED
PAINT PEELING PORTRAIT
THE BLOOD
THE SNOT
THESE THOUGHTS THEY ALL DRAIN
GOT TO GIVE THEM EVERYTHING
ALL THE MORE TO THROW BACK AT YOU
THERES NO WAY TO WIN
THERES NO WAY OUT
ITS TIME AGAIN
THE TARGETS ON MY HEAD
SHAKE HANDS AND SMILE
SHAKE HANDS AND SMILE
SHAKE HANDS AND SMILE
SHAKE HANDS AND SMILE
FILTH UNDER THE FINGERNAILS
LIES DISGUISE THE QUEEN
TRUTH CORRUPTS THE KING
BRINGS THE KINGDOM TO ITS KNEES
YOURE BETTER WHEN YOURE NOTHING
PEOPLE FEEL BETTER NEXT TO NOTHING
AS SOON AS YOU GOT SOMETHING
ITS TIME TO KNOCK YOU DOWN
THERES NO WAY TO WIN
THERES NO WAY OUT
ITS TIME AGAIN
THE TARGETS ON MY HEAD
THERES NO WAY TO WIN
THERES NO WAY OUT
ITS TIME AGAIN
THE TARGETS ON MY HEAD
THERES NO WAY TO WIN
THERES NO WAY OUT
ITS TIME AGAIN
THE TARGETS ON MY HEAD
THERES NO WAY TO WIN
THERES NO WAY OUT
ITS TIME AGAIN
THE TARGETS ON MY HEAD (YOU)
FILTH UNDER THE FINGERNAILS
LIES DISGUISE THE QUEEN
TRUTH CORRUPTS THE KING
BRINGS THE KINGDOM TO ITS KNEES
YOURE BETTER WHEN YOURE NOTHING
PEOPLE FEEL BETTER NEXT TO NOTHING
AS SOON AS YOU GOT SOMETHING
ITS TIME TO KNOCK YOU DOWN
KNOCK YOU DOWN
KNOCK YOU DOWN
KNOCK YOU DOWN
KNOCK YOU DOWN
KNOCK YOU DOWN
KNOCK YOU DOWN
KNOCK YOU DOWN
KNOCK YOU DOWN
KNOCK YOU DOWN
KNOCK YOU DOWN
KNOCK YOU DOWN
KNOCK YOU DOWN

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
